Rapid update 1:
Skeleton Leaves by the marvelous Helen Marshall is out & about in the literary wild! Skeleton Leaves is a wonderfully dark retelling of Peter Pan. It's impossibly well done & if you haven't ordered your copy, here's your chance to remedy that:
Yes! Want! Must! Buy!
I met Helen (& Laura, the other half of the Sisters ChiZine) at the 2011 World Horror Con in Austin, TX. She contacted me after we were all respectively home & recovered & asked if I'd make a cover for her Skeleton Leaves. I was so blown away by it that I made the cover PLUS 6 b/w interior illustrations! We're both extremely proud of our creepy collaborative creation! IT'S ALIVE! Get yours today!
Here's the cover:
